The mostremaniable feature of the maeliine is the peculiarelastic blow, the force of which can be varied at thewill of the operator, from a slight to a heavy blow,by more or less pressure applied to the treadle, andwithout moving the work in any manner. A self-acting device attached to the maeliine stopsinstantly the lilow of the hammer, allowing the opera-tor to withdraw his work.

The work, while in the machine, is stationary,thus insuring the hammer always striking on therivet and heading it equally.
